A document recommending Thurlow for the Bronze Star noted that all his

Have you considered that the author of the citation, probably Kerry, lied? Very
seldom does one write his own citation.
Pay attention here teach. Thurlow's own citation for the bronze star
includes the information that there was small arms fire coming from the
banks of the river.
It agrees with Kerry's and Rassmann's account of the events of that day
and is in direct conflict with Thurlow's very recent affidavit saying
that there was no small arms fire, three decades later.
When will you admit to yourself these guys are nothing but partisans who
would rip the most patriotic of men apart in an effort to get their man
elected.
The point person is non other than Merrie Spaeth, the same gal who
commandeered the character assassination of John McCain in 2000 with the
aide of Karl Rove.
These are scummy people.

Pay attention. Thurlow's own citation was *not* written by Thurlow, and was
received by Thurlow *after* he left the service. Thurlow states his citation was
erroneous.
Did I say that Thurlow wrote the citation? It was written by a third
party.
Why in God's name would Rassmann, a Republican, lie about being under
fire while Kerry was rescuing him?
I suppose his vantage point wasn't nearly as good as Thurlows?
Geez John, seems like the logic would be apparent to you if you were
wearing tightly bound blinders.
